Paulinho admits he has offers to leave Barcelona

Current Barcelona player, Paulinho, told various radio stations that he has offers on the table to leave the Camp Nou this summer. These comments came after Brazil had been knocked out of the World Cup by Belgium.

Although he didn't mention any names himself, one of those offers is from his previous club, Guangzhou Evergrande. According to the reports surrounding that offer, it'd see Barcelona make a €10m profit on the €40m they paid for Paulinho last summer.

When interrogated about his future, Paulinho was clear and direct: "I'm going to have a meeting with my representative and talk with him about my situation. I don't know about China. There's an offer from there and a European club but I wouldn't rule out staying at Barça either."

It's worth remembering, as SPORT reported a few days ago, that the player's agent had spent some time in Barcelona and told the club about the offers to leave the Camp Nou. This is where more information was asked for - and shown - which proves the interest in Paulinho is real.

At the moment, Barcelona are waiting to receive the official documentation about this offer before they make a decision, although if everything proves to be correct then the club would be willing to let the footballer leave. Ernesto Valverde has given the move the green light on the condition that Paulinho is adequately replaced.
